受訪者對烏龍茶飲用的專業表現與其SF-36健康自評值之關係

The Relationship between the Oolong Tea Drinking Specializations and Self-Assessed Health Concepts of Short Form 36(SF-36)

自古以來華人即有「飯後飲茶消油脂」的養生觀念，加上近年來生活水準提昇，飲茶風氣日益盛行。本研究旨在探討受訪者對烏龍茶飲用的專業化面向與其SF-36健康自評值之關係，以SF-36健康量表台灣版問卷為測量工具探討8個健康自評值與其對烏龍茶飲用的專業表現之關係。2009年3月1日至31日間以便利抽樣方式對500位中部烏龍茶飲用者進行問卷調查，最後得到397份有效問卷進行資料分析，有效問卷率為79.4%，其結果如下：受訪者對烏龍茶飲用專業化之「參與經驗」、「技術」、「設備投資」及「持續涉入」4面向與其SF-36健康量表之「活力狀況（VT）」、「因身體健康引起的角色限制（RP）」、「因情緒問題引起的角色限制（RE）」、「心理健康（MH）」及「整體健康狀況（GH）」等健康自評值呈正相關。受訪者自認對烏龍茶越專業，平均一個月飲用烏龍茶次數越多，所以願意花越多錢購買越貴的泡茶裝備；而平日生活會越喜歡飲用烏龍茶，平日生活與烏龍茶的關係也越密切；如此心情越好，身心也越健康。部分研究顯示飲用烏龍茶可促進健康，該論點也獲得本研究的支持。
